Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[ Canto 4, Ch. 28 ]
TRANSLATION
My dear friend, when you enter such a body along with the woman of material desires, you become overly absorbed in sense enjoyment. Because of this, you have forgotten your spiritual life. Due to your material conceptions, you are placed in various miserable conditions.
PURPORT
When a person becomes materially engrossed, he has no capacity to hear about spiritual existence. Forgetfulness of spiritual existence entangles a man more and more in material existence. Such is the result of sinful life. Various bodies are developed with the material ingredients because of different types of sinful activities. King Purañjana assumed the body of a woman, Vaidarbhī, as a result of his sinful activities.  Bhagavad-gītā  clearly says ( striyo vaiśyās tathā śūdrāḥ ) that such a body is lowborn. If one takes shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, however, he can be elevated to the highest perfection, even though he be lowborn. One acquires lower births when one's spiritual intelligence is reduced.
TEXT 60
न त्वं विदर्भदुहिता नायं वीरः सुहृत्तव । न पतिस्त्वं पुरञ्जन्या रुद्धो नवम्रुखे यथा ॥६०॥
na tvam vidarbha-duhitā   nāyam vīraḥ suhṛt tava   na patis tvam purañjanyā   ruddho nava-mukhe yayā
na —not;  tvam —you;  vidarbha-duhitā —daughter of Vidarbha;  na —not;  ayam —this;  vīraḥ —hero;  su-hṛt —well-wishing husband;  tava —your;  na —not;  patiḥ —husband;  tvam —you;  purañjanyāḥ —of Purañjanī;  ruddhaḥ —captured;  nava-mukhe —in the body having nine gates;  yayā —by the material energy.
TRANSLATION
Actually, you are not the daughter of Vidarbha, nor is this man, Malayadhvaja, your well-wishing husband. Nor were you the actual husband of Purañjanī. You were simply captivated in this body of nine gates.
